Created using PyCharm 2020.3.3 (Community Edition)
Program simulates a continuous weekly lucky dip lottery. [UK lottery uses numbers 0-59] Each play represents one ticket bought per week.
The program has a list of seven numbers that represent a lottery ticket. It generates two sets of seven random numbers on each run:
- the official draw ticket
- your ticket
After comparing the two sets of numbers for that week,
the program outputs a prize based on the number of matches:
● £20 for three matching numbers
● £40 for four matching numbers
● £100 for five matching numbers
● £10000 for six matching numbers
● £1,000,000 for seven matching numbers
Program then asks (y/n), if you wish to play again for another week.
This is similar to an continuous online Lotto Entry by Direct Debit;
to stop playing enter anything other than 'y'.
Each ticket costs £2 and running total for how much you spent over the simulated weeks, against how much you have won.

Looks great JanetD. Very well done. Great comments and can follow the logic of your code well. I especially like the bit which warns the user about the times they have played and the money they have spent. Just the tiniest change I would suggest is display that message not only on if play != 'y': but by checking if the player has not won anything say after x amount of goes so they don't carry on playing. Also on line 58, Instead of 'Go to', I would just say 'Run the function', because that's what Python is actually doing. Have a great rest of the weekend. P.S I didn't win anything after 7 goes
